Ingredients
  

  • 8 large pickles sliced lengthwise and hollowed out
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 2 teaspoons ranch seasoning
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup real beef bacon bits or turkey bacon bits for a leaner option

Alternative Ingredients:

  • Dairy-Free: Use a non-dairy cream cheese and dairy-free shredded cheese.
  • Gluten-Free: Make sure your ranch seasoning and bacon bits are gluten-free.

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Pickles: Slice the pickles lengthwise and remove the insides to create a small pocket.
  • Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, shredded cheddar cheese, and bacon bits. Mix well until fully incorporated.
  • Stuff the Pickles: Spoon the filling into each hollowed-out pickle, ensuring it’s generously filled.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  • Air Fry the Pickles: Place the stuffed pickles in the air fryer basket, ensuring they’re not overcrowded. Air fry for 8-10 minutes or until golden and crispy.
  • Serve: Allow the pickles to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Spicy Option: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to the filling for an extra kick.
Sweet Twist: Add a touch of caramelized onions or a drizzle of honey for a sweet-savory version.
Vegan Version: Use plant-based cream cheese and vegan cheese alternatives for a vegan-friendly snack.
